OP PMed me asking to communicate on Telegram. I would reiterate that for the reasons above, you should keep all communication public. If you message random forum users privately there is a high chance of being scammed. Also, I don't use Telegram.

I suggest you download btcrecover and give it a go yourself before enlisting the help of any third parties. The set up guide is fairly easy to follow: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL/

The main question is do you remember anything at all about the password? Length, character set, memorable words, etc? Is it likely to be a variation of some other passwords you use? If you have absolutely no idea what the password is, then you will only be able to brute force it if it was a fairly weak password.


I want you to note that my electrum Wallet is not encrypted and it doesn't ask for a password at all when I open the wallet to check my balance or transaction history, it only asks for the password when I do a bitcoin transfer or extract private key.
I've tried creating a similar wallet that doesn't encrypt files with the password I generate. I then put a password I know into the password list and tried running BTCRecover to see if it could find my password, but it couldn't find it. So I think BTCRecover only works with encrypted Electrum wallets with a password.
If you know any solution that can recover the password for the unencrypted Electrum wallet, please guide me.
